Meanwhile, more than 80 health officials gathered for the 3-day MERS-CoV meeting at the WHO's Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office (EMRO) in Cairo, the office announced in a press release.

"At the end of the meeting, countries are expected to agree on a joint action plan that can collectively improve and strengthen public health preparedness measures against MERS-CoV through regional and inter-regional collaboration and partnerships," the EMRO release says.
